Navigate to Start -> search for "Remote" and open Remote Desktop Connection. Or search for "mstsc.exe".

Input "sign-red.cites.illinois.edu" without the quotes into the "Computer" field. Click Connect.

When the authentication box comes up, input "uofi\NetID" and your AD password. If you are not able to access the server, a request for access will need to be sent to your Digital Signage technical contact.

Mac OS X:

Start "Microsoft Remote Desktop.app" from your Applications folder. Click on New to create a new remote connection.

The Connection Name is the "pretty name" - I would suggest "Digital Signage". The PC name is "sign-red.cites.illinois.edu".

If you wish, you can enter UOFI\NetID and your password here, or it will prompt you if not.

Change the full-screen and resolution settings to match your system. Some prefer to run the remote connection in a Windowed mode at a lower resolution than the local machine.

Connecting to the Digital Signage File Server:

Windows:

Go to Start -> Right click on "Computer" -> Map Network Drive

In "Folder" put in "\\digisign-fs.cites.illinois.edu\data".

If prompted for credentials, input uofi\NetID and your AD password.

Mac OS X:

Open Finder. Click Go -> Connect to Server.

Input "smb://digisign-fs.cites.illinois.edu" without the quotes into the server address field. Click Connect and input uofi\NetID and your AD password.
